Well, if you caught my Friday post I was having some serious cravings to be bad! We are starting our detox tomorrow and when you have to go nearly a month without eating basically any carbs, meat, sugars, fats, etc. it's tempting to treat yourself a bit before going into that! Well, I treated myself alright. I treated myself at breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day this weekend! I averaged about 2000 calories or a bit more each day this weekend (which in all honesty isn't a huge catastrophe), but certainly put my weight loss into a stand still. I was also lazy, and didn't workout any this weekend!
In the past when I've done this, I often give in and let myself just gorge when I cheat and then feel so bad about myself I eat more, exercise less and eventually kind of give up for a time. This time, I did cheat and I did let myself eat foods I normally wouldn't all in one day, but I didn't just completely go crazy. I still kept up with my calories and when I got close to 2000 stopped for the day. I didn't eat until I was so full I couldn't move, and didn't eat large portion sizes of these bad foods. Now in part, I am trying to defend myself a bit and make it ok that I gave in. Which it's not. However, if you are going to give in a) you can't do it for days at a time, and b) you can't eat only junk. Even just 2 days a week of cheating can completely undo the other 5 days worth of exercise and good foods. So, I am NOT going to post my foods and calories for this weekend. In part because I'm a bit ashamed and embarrassed, and in part because the foods themselves wouldn't serve to be helpful to you, only my story of how I gave in to temptation and am now going to pick myself up off the floor, wipe the ice cream off my mouth and know that "Tomorrow is another day!"
